This black pumps designed using contrastive black and white colors, contrastive colors is this year fashion element for shoes and dresses. I just like the design that classical black and white color can be used perfect for this pumps.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-black-pumps#post-984627 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 03:19:28 +0000 Susie 984627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the calf hair! I think it'd great added texture and not creepy at all!<br /> And the heel height is nice.</p> <p>I would prefer to see the silver on just the toe of the second pair. I'm not crazy about it on the heel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-black-pumps#post-984591 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 02:29:01 +0000 Dana 984591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, if they're comfy and you can afford them, I'd say keep them both. (isn't that size hard to find?) I can see the first pr looking really cool w/ jeans and other things, too. I don't see the silver toe cap as trendy, just chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-black-pumps#post-984572 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 02:08:13 +0000 Transcona Shannon 984572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair Calvin Klein kitten heel pointy toe pumps in black&nbsp;- super comfy. I also have Cole Haan kitten heel pointy toe pumps in taupe (they are available in flat black and patent black leather) - even more comfy than the Calvin Klein. I would recommend trying both if possible. I find the Cole Haan to be slightly wider in the toe box which is a wee bit more comfy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-black-pumps#post-984501 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 01:08:54 +0000 Eliza 984501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like number one a lot as they are a bit different and the texture adds interest. &nbsp;I may be applying archaic thinking here- to me they don't seem like a shoe I would gravitate to&nbsp;in hot summers. &nbsp;They would be a 3 season shoe for me. &nbsp;I like the texture juxtaposed with the classic shape and to me, they would be a worthwhile purchase if comfortable.&nbsp;</p> <p>The other one's seem more all season and&nbsp;also quite on trend now. &nbsp;If you are looking for a pump that is classic to keep for a longer time, I would seek out other kinds of details that are a little less specific to this year and last. &nbsp;They are certainly appropriate for many purposes and could add a bit of sparkle and fun if you like the metal.&nbsp;</p> <p>There are so many good looking pumps out there and it often comes down to comfort. Good luck with your search.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-black-pumps#post-984498 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 01:07:43 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 984498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooohhhhhh.... loving the Dolly!&nbsp; And you can get them in suede! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-black-pumps#post-984496 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 01:06:36 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 984496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><u>I adore the calfhair</u>!&nbsp; But then.. I have a pair of black calfhair pumps myself, and women of all ages always stop me to gush over them, like I've got baby bunnies on my feet or something.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p> <p>I also really love the Casiano, but I know myself too well - I would have those pretty silver toes all scratched up three steps out the door. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-black-pumps#post-984476 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 00:55:47 +0000 rachylou 984476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 are pretty darn cool. Definitely not conventional or conservative, but also not too bad expense wise. I'd keep 'em for fun.</p> <p>#2 are fashion forward while still being conservative. Not ultra conservative, but fairly so. I'd think they'd be pretty easy to wear, except in a bank. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-black-pumps#post-984459 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 00:44:22 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 984459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would think the Topshop ones would be uber-useful, very appropriate for all situations. I too am not sure aobut the metal on the EA ones - I personally am not a big fan but it just depends on how daring you want to be. There are a lot of them out there, too - if you're still looking for the perfect pair, go to Zappos, go nuts, and then return the ones that don't work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-black-pumps#post-984376 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 23:28:42 +0000 Jjsloane 984376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ornella - you temptress. I want them in all the colors too! I will try these out for sure.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-black-pumps#post-984368 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 23:19:00 +0000 Ornella 984368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember reading how Adrienne from <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.therichlifeonabudget.com">http://www.therichlifeonabudget.com</a>&nbsp;raved about her&nbsp;Calvin Klein Dolly pumps. Search her blog, I believe she got them from Zappos. </p> <p></p> <p>ETA: Yup, here they are:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.zappos.com/calvin-klein-dolly-black-leather">http://www.zappos.com/calvin-k.....ck-leather</a></p> <p></p> <p>The reviews are great.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-black-pumps#post-984365 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 23:13:23 +0000 Jjsloane 984365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I have tons of shoes, but I realized I need to refresh my basic black pumps. Of course what I've found are not so basic, but might work as well? My criteria are that they are black, under 2.5" heel, no ankle straps, no sling backs, no peep toes. I wear a 10 normally, but 10.5 in pointy or designer brands. Not a wide, but cannot wear narrow brands. For consideration I've already purchased and/or tried on these:<br />1. Topshop Jilted Calfhair pumps.&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/topshop-jilted-pump/3494953">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/to.....mp/3494953</a><br />Super cool, and they fit nicely&nbsp;but is the hair creepy? When I cross my legs will I feel like something crawled on me? I got them for an amazing price ($35) but not 100% sure I should not keep looking<br />2. Enzo Angiolini Casiano -&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.lordandtaylor.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/en/lord-and-taylor/casiano-leather-pumps">http://www.lordandtaylor.com/w.....ther-pumps</a><br />Black with silver toes and heels - also like the reptile with gold metal&nbsp;(perfect heel height, very pointy and I sized up to 11 for perfect fit-usually EA are too narrow and these were not) Also at a good price at local Lord &amp; Taylor. Is metal toe too much for my office? Hmmmm... Is it already over?</p> <p>Any advice?&nbsp;</p> <p> </p>
